We have named our stay away at Tall Pines, the "Dog's Holiday". Our 7 month old Rough Collie (Lassie dog) had the absolute time of his life, especially forming a close bond with a neighbour’s Lab. We caught King George Whiting right in front of the house, cooked them on coals on the beach fire pit, taught the puppy to ride the kayak and kayaked with dolphins. The weather was winter and we had travelled and ferried through record rains and temps in Wallaroo and Adelaide (from Melb) but we managed to fit a lot in in 4 days. If you are passing through Port Lincoln, do a big shop. The IGA at Coffin Bay was under stocked (maybe bc of winter). Lunch at Oyster HQ was good. The restaurant ‘1802’ was closed. Walks to the coastal reserve were beautiful. We only just started to wind down when it was time to 'wind it up' again. I can imagine in the warmer months, this would be heaven. The house had everything we needed. Thanks Kathy!
